There are some catch-up mechanics if you want to swap your covenant.
If you got to renown 80 with your current covenant, you can buy an item to jump to 60 with a new one. (You can also buy the item for alts!)
If you have a bunch of anima in the reservoir for your current covenant, you can buy some items that will let you move it to your new covenant. (This also can be used to transfer between alts.)
You will still have to run through the campaign quests to unlock the soulbinds. (How far you need to go will depend on which soulbind is best for your spec.)
